The HPE Virtualized Services Assurance Platform (VSAP) addresses the need for visibility and correlation between the networking requirements of virtual applications and workloads (the “overlay”) and the physical connectivity provided by the IP network infrastructure (“the underlay”). The IP infrastructure route and path analytics generated simplify the management of SDN overlay services. Providing proactive and real-time visualization, troubleshooting and analysis of underlay IP control plane protocol changes and their impact on SDN overlay service paths. Now network operators can limit the number of problem escalations while accelerating resolutions to service affecting problems. The HPE Virtualized Services Assurance Platform is tightly integrated with HPE Distributed Cloud Networking (DCN). As a result, SDN-based overlay services can be provided to facilitate network path based on the latest analytics information derived from the underlying IP network infrastructure.

What's new

Correlates and manages SDN based overlay services and IP underlay networks to deliver proactive service assurance.

Overlay and Underlay Network Correlation

When underlay failures affect a virtual machine (VM), the administrator can track the issue and diagnose the problem to the specific area of the IP fabric for analysis and diagnosis.

For intermittent network connectivity, the HPE Virtualized Services Assurance Platform maintains a historical record of state changes in both the IP and SDN domains to provide audit capabilities to isolate the root cause.
